This unbelievably easy 10-minute chocolate pudding is rich, creamy, and made from scratch using simple ingredients. It’s the perfect quick dessert fix that delivers intense chocolate flavor without the need for boxed mixes or long cooking times.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter
  • Optional: chopped chocolate or chocolate chips for extra richness

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan (off the heat), whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk to form a smooth mixture with no lumps.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, whisking constantly until it thickens and starts to bubble (around 5–7 minutes).
  4. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract. Optionally, stir in chopped chocolate for extra richness.
  5. Pour the pudding into serving dishes. You can serve it warm or let it chill in the fridge for a few hours until set.

Notes

  • For an extra silky texture, strain the pudding before chilling.
  • To prevent a skin from forming, place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding before refrigerating.
  • You can use dairy-free milk and butter substitutes to make it vegan.
  • Serve with whipped cream or berries for added flavor.
